Re: Another quilt as you go idea
Thanks for sharing - love both of those ideas. I keep spending so much time on this forum ( . . . and ebay . . . ) that I forget about some of the other sites.
I'm working on a strip quilt as you go now - will share later on.Sometimes, when there's a raging fire,
it's best not to try to put it out with gasoline.

Re: Another quilt as you go idea
I have made two quilts using this method, except I hand sewed all of the sashing strips on the top of the quilt. They turned out very nice! My daughters loved them!Shirley :icon_bigsmile:Comment

Re: Another quilt as you go idea
I have made a huge one of the strings for my bed this way. It was easy to do; only difficulty was the bulkiness toward the end on the machine. LOL. GREAT scrap buster
Above is a terribly blurry pic from this terrible photographer. Thank goodness the quilt is nicer and warmer than the picture is clear.Sewing mends the soul.

Re: Another quilt as you go idea
Love your quilt, Blondie. BTW you are only allowed so many 'spot-on' talents in a lifetime. Looks like you may have gotten near your limit . . . you can be a photographer or a quilter . . . and we all appreciate the fact that you've excelled in quilting. Besides, we wouldn't notice any blurriness in your picture. At least I felt it was a design feature.Originally posted by Blondie View Post

Re: Another quilt as you go idea
I checked out the second site suggested and the leaves on the hot mats were beautiful. Putting that on my list. So far I only have five (5) things added to my to-do list with all the other things I want to make.
Blondie, love your quilt! Looks like you worked long and hard on that.Saundra

Re: Another quilt as you go idea
Hi ladies
I love scrappy string things. This really didn't take too long to do. I cut 10 in blocks out of muslin and just did the strings - pulled out of a bag, no rhyme or reason or coordinating. More fun for my ADD brain. I made it HUGE. I have a queen bed and it could easy fit a California king. LOL. I enjoyed putting difficult appliques on it very scattered. My personal touch of whimsy. I lined it with flannel. Since it was foundation pieced and I didn't want to have it TOO heavy, I used no batting. The flannel, muslin foundation and fabric strips make it heavy enough and warm. I quilted by hand and did the binding by hand. It was far too ponderous for me to consider doing on my machine. Went together very quickly once I had it pinned together. I was working on this at the same time I was finishing up the log cabin for my Daddy.
I have washed it already and it is just perfect in the soft and cozy dept.Sewing mends the soul.
